made a mine detector drone, it's very cool, in fact , it's already there, well, it works. it recognizes mines, it detects their location, you recognize the size of mines, and all this transmits this data so that they can then be demined. i hope that the invention of this eleventh grader will be practical implemented, will involve him in further work, support him in this work, which is important, because such minds, you know, i don’t really want them to go abroad, and there they are very much waiting for our smart ukrainian boys and girls and people older age ago. let yury timur stay in ukraine and work. thank you for being with us. now for your attention, a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news. good evening. we are from ukraine. we are from ukraine live from london . this is what russia is

telling the world that ukraine is allegedly planning to detonate a so-called dirty nuclear bomb, but they do not believe the russians and, on the contrary, warn them against the provocations of life after the russian occupation of the kherson region, a bbc report from the recently released the village of khreshchenivka and 8 months since the beginning of the war, how has ukrainian society changed during this time, russia is introducing a new concept of the dirty bomb in the war against ukraine and declares that they say ukraine plans to use it on its territory, moreover, the russian minister of defense shoigu, on the weekend, called representatives of four

countries very loudly the minister of defense of the united states, britain, france and turkey and told them about it that they say ukraine is preparing such a provocation, a dirty bomb that could cause radioactive contamination today, these the statement was repeated in telephone calls in washington and london by the head of the russian general staff gerasimov in ukraine such a statement is called a lie president zelenskyi called on the world to react according to his words if someone can use nuclear weapons this is russia and these statements mean what zelenskyi says they mean it's just that russia has already started to prepare something, the ukrainian authorities, by the way, invited megate experts to visit the facilities that russia claims are the sites of the development of such a dirty bomb, and at the request of the neck as well the united states, britain, and france reacted skeptically to the event. the united states, britain, and france made a joint statement rejecting russia's false accusations, and

we are talking more about it with my colleague hryhoriy zhigalov. he is joining us from brussels . here are such calls for russia, i will start with the second part of the question , such calls for russia and for the russian ministry of defense are very uncharacteristic, to put it mildly, especially since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the shaygu often disappeared from the radars altogether answered the attempts of western colleagues to call him somehow to get in touch, you may remember how in april the united states defense minister lloyd austin complained that the joker was not answering his calls. france from turkey to tell them about the dirty bomb, too. there was a shogo conversation with the us defense minister austin and with

the british defense minister volos a-a. in general, for the first time with a voice since the beginning of the war, he spoke. well, at least as much as publicly about it it is known and this is what the reaction was at first: the minister of defense of great britain denied shoigu's confirmation and warned that such accusations should not be used as a pretext for even greater escalation. next, three countries, great britain , the united states and france, issued a joint statement . false stagings of russia that ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its territory are indicated in this statement and that the world sees one more quote one more phrase through any attempts to use these statements as an excuse for escalation, and by the way, this week , experts of the american institute for the study of war based on open sources indicated several times

that moscow, on the other hand, is probably preparing an informational background for a certain provocation, as it is now often customary to say under foreign flag. at the same time, in their analysis, they note that there is nothing new in these at least russian accusations; russian propaganda promotes this false thesis. throughout the war, he the institute also doubts that the statement is aimed at creating a certain reason for the use of tactical nuclear weapons, say against this background in brussels, in nato and in the eu, while they remain calm in connection with the latest events. well, except that the european commission presented a new website today which should help to fight against russian disinformation, help to detect it, colleague. thank you, the correspondents of the axis , hryhoriy zhigalov from brussels, russia scares with a dirty

bomb, but what is a dirty bomb, we talk about it with a specialist in nuclear security, a professor at the institute of international relations of the kyiv national university, serhiy halaka joins our broadcast, serhiy thank you for joining so a dirty bomb is the same as a nuclear bomb or not , what is the difference in general, what is it good evening, let's start with that that it is not a nuclear thought at all, it is a so-called radiological weapon, if it can be considered a weapon at all, because most experts consider it a means used by terrorists, it is an ordinary explosive device sharpened by a radioactive substance, it is most likely a powdered substance, the result of the explosion is the contamination of large areas in a densely populated area of ​​the city, some settlement or

agricultural land, and so on. appropriate cleaning measures, i.e. the bomb itself can only kill those who are closer as a result of the explosion of this substance, and pollution is a long-term effect that again, it depends on the amount, the composition of the isothermal, and so on, and so on. there will be no mass casualties, but people can get sick, and the worst thing is panic. colleagues from harvard university considered one of these possible scenarios 20 years ago, after the terrorist attacks of 2001 , let's say what terrorist group is preparing an explosion near new york, one of the options is to bring the ship to the shore and during the wind from the sea, the wind there is mainly from the sea and will blow up

causing a huge cloud of radioactive dust which settles in manhattan, after which there is a panic, evacuation and complete paralysis of one of the main centers of the world economy, losses of hundreds of billions, possibly trillions, an economic crisis as a result, and so on. regarding radioactive contamination, this is how it is possible, radioactive contamination from a dirty bomb may differ from radioactive contamination from tactical nuclear weapons, because even earlier there were concerns that russia may use tactical nuclear weapons against ukraine, well, again, it depends on the isotropic composition of that radioactive material, and if it is, say, spent fuel taken as a basis, then the level of enrichment there, well, 3-5% is not high, if it is a

higher level of enrichment of the material, then it is more dangerous are radioisotopes, but we know from the example of chornobyl that they are long-lived, which have a half-life, that is, the levels of radioactivity are halved in 26 thousand years, that is, there are shorter-lived isotopes forever. that is, it is difficult will leave, but never in the world such weapons have not been used yet, thank god, there is no experience, and it must be said that all the materials that are on the territory of ukraine are radioactive, they are under very tight control after ukraine joined the day with and signed an agreement with video surveillance, video cameras, there are web cameras, constant inspections, and now our minister has asked when he would have turned to the store to send inspections to check these objects are controlled

down to the milligram of materials. that is, it is very dense control, and so far no serious violations have been detected on the territory of ukraine. first of all, secondly, there is also such control on spent fuel storage at hydroelectric power stations, at the actual nuclear power plant, at scientific research centers and facilities, and so on, all of them are under guarantees stores they are all controlled er use yes yes please let me interrupt you are you saying there has been no use of tactical nuclear weapons in history but use of dirty bombs has been used in history never used dirty tactical bombs have been used twice against hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945 , since then they have not been used as weapons. thank you, mr. serhiychuk, never

applied. maksym understood all these statements from moscow about the dirty bomb, even when the russian occupation authorities were leaving kherson , announced the so-called evacuation of civilians, and moreover, suvorov's bust was taken out of the city and the monument to general fedorovshakov of the russian fleet , you can already see the empty pedestals, the occupation authorities explain that they removed the monument that you did not damage them during the shelling, but according to the head of ukrainian intelligence, kyrylo budanov, russian troops are not fleeing from kherson now, but on the contrary, they are bringing new units there and are preparing to street fighting, at the same time he predicts that ukraine will return kherson under control by the end of the year. life is raging in the kherson region, the military is moving back and forth within the borders of ukraine's counteroffensive. this is a logistical

artery that passes through the recently liberated villages after months of shelling. finally, it is quiet here . ukraine controls these places again, but such communities as khreshchenivka have been looted and destroyed. there were times when 69-year-old fedir thought that will die of hunger, yes, by shelling during the occupation, yes, these guys said that they were liberators. but in fact , they started robbing us, robbing, taking cars from me, they took a six-car from a disabled person, i don't

i'm crying for what i'm crying so that it wasn't impossible for six months under the explosions to be near the kindergarten, tears on the earth from the explosion of the projectile, holes in the walls from shrapnel, the students left this place a long time ago, about them here they remind me, except for the names, when i first came here after the liberation i just stood there crying because this is how hard it is, this lev, alyona's house was looted after she left it, they took almost everything of the pro-russian occupiers , you can learn a lot just by looking around, this school was their headquarters everywhere scattered their supplies and garbage evidence not of a disciplined army but of forces that were surrounded by dirt and fled in a hurry there are many moments when this war seems senseless and this is one of them

regardless of whether such villages are occupied or liberated the result is the same communities are destroyed but here there is relief and faith in the fact that over time people will be able to restore everything and this is the reason why ukraine continues to fight for the liberation of this region, there is a fierce struggle and victory will not bring an instant return to normal life however, according to the words there is no other ukrainian military path, there is no baptismal font in the kherson region after the russian occupation . now let's talk about the detention of vyacheslav boguslav, the head of the motor sich enterprise, who is accused of supplying engines and other spare parts for russian attack helicopters. boguslav was arrested for two months and is in touch with us. a colleague from kyiv, viktoria zhugan, who is monitoring this case. so, vito, what evidence does the sbu prosecutor's office make public, and what is the position

of boguslaev himself regarding these accusations? good i will probably start the evening from the end because very recently we learned that p. boguslaev finally commented on his detention, this became known from the video published by ukrainian journalists from the court and this is what he said. perhaps we will observe the following statements of the detainees or their lawyers, and now that the security service of ukraine has published, first of all, these are audio recordings on which the security service claims that it is boguslaev himself speaks to its russian buyers of the engines you are talking about in the second place, the sbu insists that the ukrainian army has already shot down russian helicopters during the war after a full-scale invasion with these engines, although the public

has not seen this evidence, that is, if the audio recordings are in the open, these are the only ones the only evidence given, and finally i will remind you that in the afternoon there was also a statement from the employees of the company who wrote on the motorsch website that they are sure of the innocence of their manager, here it is worth adding that in this case bohuslav, he is not the only accused, but still, if we talk about him, this is the summer. in short, who is poguslaev, he is a very large figure in ukrainian politics, in particular, in regional politics. and besides, he was called the last red director of ukraine because he has been controlling motor for decades sich motor sich is one of the most powerful manufacturers of aviation and helicopter engines in general in the world . when i was on the motorci website today, i

saw that the company itself writes that foreign economic areas such as africa latin america, china, india and russia, the team worked under the leadership of boguslaev, as they write with maximum efficiency. well, just now, i already touched on what motor sich is, what kind of enterprise it is, but how important is motor sich an enterprise during the war? two answers, one from the period before the full-scale invasion of russia and the other after the invasion, the authorities of ukraine dissolved that this private enterprise cannot be concentrated in the hands of private owners eh and eh even before the invasion in 2021, the nsdc said that it said that, in the interests of the national security of ukraine, this enterprise should belong to the state, and after

the invasion of russia into ukraine, the security service claims that russia attacked ukraine with the very attack helicopters whose engines and supplied ukraine in the person of motor sich. thank you. congratulations , bbc correspondent in kyiv, victoria zhvan, and before the international events, nebore johnson will become the new prime minister of britain, and rishi sunok was elected leader of the conservative party after his resignation. although he declared that he has the support of the party. so who is the decision maker? he was the finance minister in the form of johnson and, by the way, one of those who forced him to resign by expressing distrust of rishi samok. he competed for leadership and passion in the previous internal party elections, but then he lost, now he became the leader of the conservative party and will become the prime minister of britain in china , on the contrary, political changes are predicted, all the bells and

whistles strengthened his power, he remains the general secretary of the communist party for another 5 years he was reelected for a third term, having previously canceled the two-term limit for general secretaries, the general congress of the party of china ended without surprises in the politburo loyal to the axis and to the leaders, except that this moment was unexpected during the congress of the former leader of china, tau was removed from the presidencies as it seems that he didn't want to go, everyone said something in a loud voice, he shot back, he nodded in response, and during the congress , changes were made to the communist party's statutes, in particular, they emphasized the central role of sidinpin in the party and formulated it more strictly as for the chinese policy towards russia, until now china has maintained an apparent neutrality regarding the war waged by russia against ukraine, called for peace and negotiations, but all dengpin was restrained in what he can do in anticipation of the communist party congress and the extension

of his powers now he already seems to have his hands free, so what can we expect from him? we asked columnist yuriy to go. china is trying to take successive steps in order to achieve world leadership for ukraine. means that china will increase its contradictions with the united states of america, including through thailand, including because of strategic competition, including because china, trying to become a state, nevertheless, according to the version of the united states of america, undermines the international order or the order established on the rules and so on, this means that contradictions will intensify and the likelihood of a military conflict between these countries will increase, or in any case, some limited, limited, some kind of confrontation and for ukraine this means that ukraine will have to react to this situation because china is currently a strategic partner for our country

in accordance with the signed documents, and if ukraine tries to become part of the western camp, then in the conditions of increased strategic competition with china , it will have to choose a side and it will be much more difficult continue to balance and i think that ukraine will have to change its strategic approaches and foreign policy approaches in relation to the people's republic of china in our institute, we held discussions with chinese experts and so far in their discussion, their statements, let's say so, do not have any inducers that china will be ready to provide some assistance to the russian federation, meaning assistance of a military military nature of a military-technical nature. but at the same time, china and not will not take any steps that would destroy relations with the russian federation, he will support it at the diplomatic level, and the united nations organization can see this very clearly on other international platforms, china will

support russia economically, provide the opportunity to trade in its market even under favorable conditions for china, there is nothing wrong with the russian federation, such conditions are still acceptable because it needs income for its economy, and the chinese market in this regard is very what is important is that the people's republic of china declares at the official level of the ministry of foreign affairs that it does not see drone strikes on kyiv, in principle, this is not something new recently, for example a few weeks ago, the representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of china was asked about how china relates to the possible exclusion of russia from the list of internal sponsors of terrorism, the chinese representative said that this is absolute nonsense. the russian federation is one of the states that is very responsible is fighting terrorism and, let's say, throwing mud at the russian federation will not work, and

china is against it, so this position is evidence that china will continue to support the russian federation. i believe that the actions of russia they are absolutely contrary to the international law of waging war, they are a violation of the geneva conventions and other conventions, they are in fact genocide and international and international war crimes. china will tolerate this for china. it does not play any role. china thinks only of its geopolitical interests. for example, the genocide of the ukrainian people is not for china is not a problem and is not and is not a european-hanging factor for the implementation of its foreign or domestic policy and today we are exactly 8 months from the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia to of ukraine and we will talk about how ukrainian society has changed during this time and since the first days of the war, sociologists have recorded certain trends, such as

confidence in victory, reluctance to make territorial concessions, and here is an example, as shown by a survey of the kyiv international institute of sociology: 86% of ukrainians believe that the armed struggle should be continued even after the massive shelling from russia, previous polls showed that the attitude of ukrainians towards the russians of belarus had deteriorated significantly , but the attitude towards poles have many different dimensions, many different questions are asked by sociologists, and my colleague svyatoslav khomenko is joining us. thank you, you recently spoke with the head of the rating sociological group, oleksiy antipovych, and the rating conducted a number of surveys already during the war, as well as the bridge itself. which sociologists have been recording since the beginning, and that is not what was the biggest surprise for you, the first of several surprises at once - this is probably a change in

the attitude of ukrainians to those events in its history for those who are controversial or ambiguous , a good example here can serve as the guests of the same stepan bandera before the beginning of the great war, a hero to me, oleksiyem antipovich zauperaiting, the attitude towards stepan bandera was clearly regionally determined in the west, the attitude towards him was very positive, in the east, the south, absolutely negative inside is not an indicator, the average temperature in the hospital was such that stepan bandera's activities were positively evaluated by about a quarter of ukrainians, now 74% of ukrainians have a positive attitude towards him, i.e. three times more than before i am a sociologist, the reason for such a shift is not that a resident of the east or the south read something of bandera or learned something new. the reason is that he understood that russia is an enemy, accordingly, everyone who defended ukraine from it once, as well as those who defends ukraine accordingly from her now he is his own hero but perhaps more than me now

even at the beginning of september is more than 90%. everyone believed that ukraine would win this great war against russia, and sociologists say that this figure has not changed since the first weeks of the war, since february ukrainians have not lost faith in victory all this time and do not lose faith in victory, but i paid attention to other figures, a sociologist of questions for ukrainians, well, ukraine will win, but what will victory mean for you? back is entirely donetsk region, sumy region and crimea, but a fairly large share of society is approximately 15-20%. they say that a victory for them will be the establishment of three numbers, and interpret them in different ways, but it seems to me that it says a lot and about the mood of ukrainians and about their attitude to this war and what they expect from it slava uh, there is still a lot to talk about, but unfortunately

we are losing touch with you, so we are forced to say goodbye to you was svyatoslav khomenko bbc correspondent in kyiv i let me remind you what we talked about at the beginning of the issue russia scares the world with a dirty bomb ukraine denies the west does not believe what a dirty bomb is you can also read on our website bbc.ua there is an explanation about it, besides there is a lot of international news yes you you can learn more about rishi-sunok who is to become the new prime minister of britain and during the week we will talk about it what to expect from the new prime minister of britain rishelsunarka who came to replace litras what is up with that i say goodbye see you tomorrow at 9:00 in the evening, the following

is a vietnamese balm, a star, the first step in the treatment of a cold is a proven drug, not a cosmetic mixture, we will be healthy, ask vietnamese in pharmacies, trust only proven drugs, so that ukrainians don't think about it, so that they don't talk, it still comes out on top war war and our victory seven days a week from monday to sunday seven different spheres of human activity sports culture politics eight presenters of expresso journalists experts opinion leaders in real time about the most current events through the prism of war every day author's projects on espresso
